Question

what should be the list price vof an article costing rs 270 if it sold at discount of 25% of the list price. and still makes profit of 25% of the selling price​

Answer 1

If an article is sold at a discount of 25% of the list price and cost price is Rs. 270 and still makes profit of 25% of the selling price, then the list price is Rs. 450.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the list price of the article be Rs. “x”.

Rate of discount = 25%

∴ The selling price of the article = List price – Discount = x – [25% of x] = Rs. 0.75 x

The cost price of the article is given as = Rs. 270

Rate of profit = 25%

We have the formula for S.P. as,  

S.P. = $\frac{100+P}{100}$ * C.P

Therefore,

0.75x = $\frac{100+25}{100}$ * 270

⇒ 0.75x = $\frac{125}{100}$ * 270

⇒ x = $\frac{1.25*270}{0.75}$

⇒ x = Rs. 450

Thus, the list price of the article is Rs. 450.
